He really is brave showing his full name and picture.<br/><br/>If the authorities wanted, they could easily tail and watch him and perhaps catch him in the act holding on to some drugs.<br/><br/>Which brings me to your question: technically over there, using is not a crime - possession is. And you can't complain that a small amount is for "personal use" either like you can here I think. That is you can't argue that you are not a dealer. And only a small amt is needed for you to be sentenced to death.<br/><br/>That's how I understand it. A lawyer can help us out? :)<br/><br/>As for the racists, you can tell from the comments it's only one or two stirring up trouble. There will always be ppl like that. Glad that most of the commentators (of all races) are civilised and intelligent. Wow that’s a really far out site. I never did check it out till now.
